Jonah Hill apologizes: Jonah Hill did an apology tour on Tuesday after using a homophobic slur over the weekend during an altercation with the paparazzi.

For his latest apology, the “Wolf of Wall Street” actor delivered an emotional apology during an appearance on the “Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”

“I didn’t mean this in the sense of the word, I didn’t mean it in a homophobic way,” said Hill. “I think that doesn’t matter…how you mean things, doesn’t matter. Words have weight and meaning, and the word I chose was grotesque and no one deserves to say or hear words like that.”

He continued, “And, I’ve been a supporter of the LGBT my entire life and I completely let the members of that community and everyone else down when I used a word like that this weekend. And, my heart’s broken, and I genuinely and deeply sorry to anyone that has been deeply affected by that term in their life, and I’m sorry and I don’t deserve or expect your forgiveness.

Hill said to young viewers, “ …If you’re a young person, especially, if someone says something that hurts you or angers you, use me as an example of what not to do, and don’t respond with hatred or anger because you’re just adding more ugliness into the world. I’m so sorry.”

Earlier in the day, Hill showed remorse for his statements during an interview with shock jock Howard Stern.

Overdose killed Gwar band leader: Dave Brockie’s death in March was caused by an accidental heroin overdose, the Virginia Medical Examiner’s office told the Associated Press.

The front man for the satirical thrash band Gwar was found dead by a bandmate at his home in Richmond, VA on March 23. He was 50.

Brockie, suited up as Oderus Urungus, for his role in the costumed band, which released more than a dozen albums over the years. Benjamin Thorp, a curator for the Gwar retrospective, told Rolling Stone in 2013, “…How do you come out of an era like the Reagan era, which was incredibly oppressive and regressive and you’re a young artist squatting in an abandoned dairy? You start creating this entire world and myth where you’re at the center.”

Brad Paisley playfully mocked protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church by taking a selfie in front of the group.

The country singer posted a picture to Instagram and Facebook of himself in front of a group holding up signs that include “God Hates Drunks”. The musician captioned the photo by writing: “Westboro Baptist Selfie!! Or west-Burro(ass) selfie. Hopefully they can hear the show out here. We’ll play loud.”

According to KansasCity.com, protesters from the Topeka church were picketing outside of the singer’s performance at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs.

In response to the well-liked selfie, the Westboro Baptist Church, which has protested nearly everything, posted a Youtube video and asked, “Was@BradPaisley REALLY mocking Westboro Baptist Church? It’s hard to say. You decide.”

The video shows the making of the selfie, and one protester is heard telling the musician, “Thanks for coming to our picket. You got a duty to Blake Shelton and Chely Wright to tell them the truth.”

The singer is completely unresponsive, but comes across very friendly as he shakes hands with the officers that are present on the scene.
